Software Engineer
$150K - $220K depends on experience, geography and role
About Tradable
Tradable is a next-generation private asset platform and investment marketplace. We simplify syndication, deal management and tokenization workflows for asset managers and provide investors access to the best liquid, institutional-grade private assets.
Why Tradable?
- Build at the intersection of private market operations and modern cloud infrastructure.
- Work on production systems that power onboarding, compliance-aware workflows, and investor reporting.
- Join a team focused on making private asset syndication and deal management workflows simpler and liquidity more accessible.
The Role
We’re hiring a Software Engineer with strong backend skills in Python and hands-on experience with Docker and the AWS stack (ECS, Lambda, EC2, CloudFront, S3, RDS). You’ll design, build, and operate services that are observable, secure, and resilient—supporting real customers and real capital flows.
What you’ll do
- Design and implement backend services and APIs in Python (FastAPI/Flask or similar).
- Containerize and ship with Docker; deploy to AWS (ECS/Fargate, Lambda, EC2).
- Build robust data access layers for PostgreSQL/MySQL; tune queries and indexes.
- Add first-class observability (structured logging, metrics, tracing) to detect and fix production issues quickly.
- Improve CI/CD pipelines, automated testing, and safe rollout practices (feature flags, canaries).
- Implement security and compliance guardrails (authN/Z, secrets management, least privilege IAM, audit logging).
- Partner with product and design to scope, estimate, and deliver iteratively.
- Participate in on-call/incident response with a focus on prevention, MTTR reduction, and post-mortems.
What we are looking for
- Startup bias: Experience shipping at a venture-backed startup or similar high-growth environment.
- 4+ years of full-time software engineering experience building production systems.
- Strong Python fundamentals; experience with one web framework (e.g., FastAPI).
- Proficiency with Docker and containerized workflows.
- Practical AWS experience: ECS/Fargate, Lambda, EC2, S3, CloudFront, CloudWatch, IAM; Terraform/CDK is a plus.
- Solid SQL (PostgreSQL/MySQL) familiarity; NoSQL is a plus.
- RESTful API design, pagination, rate limiting, caching, and performance profiling.
- Commitment to testing, code reviews, and observability (logs/metrics/traces). Clear communication; comfortable collaborating async in a remote team.
Nice to have
- Fintech/financial-services exposure (payments, KYC/AML, brokerage, lending, fund operations).
- Event-driven architectures (SQS/SNS/EventBridge), streaming (Kinesis/Kafka), or data pipelines.
- Security-minded development (threat modeling, OWASP, IAM best practices).
- Experience with Docker-based local dev and reproducible environments.
- Familiarity with tokenization/web3 concepts (wallets, on-chain events).
How we work
- Small teams, short cycles, measurable outcomes.
- Pragmatic engineering: feature flags, safe rollouts, and “you build it, you own it.”
- Remote-first with periodic in-person collaboration.
What we offer
- Competitive salary and meaningful equity.
- Company contributions to medical, dental, and vision coverage.
- 401(k)
- Flexible PTO and company holidays.
- Offsites and team days.
